Hello all, I'd like to post an update on my progress with the formatted Address LABEL field I discovered that besides my own ticket 284, an older ticket 114, refers to the same problem. So at least I know now there are others in the world with the same problem/wish:-)
I have started digging in the owncloud sourcecode and it is slowly growing on me. But I started with a stand-alone php script to play with the sabredav library. This script is now able to read in a vcard, take the FN and ADR field and create or update the LABEL field. I have a few country specific address-formats in there now, based on the list I found in the evolution code. But I need to write a more versatile script to do them all. That's what I will be starting now. Next I would need some help hooking this up with the ownclouds contact code. I have still only a rudimentary understanding of how to do this. (first) two questions here: 1) How can I find out in owncloud what the home-country is? Is there a location set somewhere? Maybe for the timezone? How can I access that. I need the home-country for the default formatting when the country field in the address is empty. 2) How best to get the country from an address? Or set it in a new address? The country name will often be written in the local language, or in the target-countries language. At least not always in English. This will make it hard to recognize. I was thinking to solve the problem at least for new or edited contacts by using a dropdown box with all countrynames for the country field. That way it is at least a controlled set of names. Maybe we can store the country shortcode (DE, NL, US, .. ) somewhere to make this even more streamlined. Any ideas are welcome.
